An electronic device makes a beep after every 60 seconds. Another device makes a beep after every 62 seconds. They beeped together at 10 a.m. At what time will they beep together at the earliest? |

Answer» Beep duration of first device = 60 seconds Beep duration of second device = 62 seconds ∴ Interval of beeping together = LCM (60, 62) Prime factorization: 60 = 22 × 3 × 5 62 = 2 × 31 ∴ LCM = 22 × 3 × 5 × 31 = 1860 seconds = 1860/60 = 31min Hence, they will beep together again at 10 : 31 a.m |
